archlinux stuck when "Loading initial ramdisk"

wptskybzy · 2018-05-31 08:17:40

Hi all, recently i have met a strange problem. I install a new ArchLinux 2018.05.01 and NVIDIA proprietary driver from pacman, then reboot, and then system stuck at "Loading initial ramdisk". I don't know why.
My video card: NVIDIA Quadro P620
My hard disk: Intel P760 SSD NVME
I use grub with UEFI
so.....someone can help me?

PS: after that i reinstall a new system named manjaro, also use nvidia proprietary driver, but everything goes fine. I'v no idea what happed.

Post your partition table and grub config.

Why did you install a graphics driver before you had successfully booted into your install? What guide were you using?

When i use nouveau, it's indeed can boot into system. But once i install nvidia driver and reboot, this problem will happen again.

Based on the accidental report, did you forget to install nvidia-utils ?

I can make sure i have install this.

So the machine does boot, it is just your graphics stack that is the issue? Read your journal for why.

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...

yes i think so, but what strange is manjaro(which based on archlinux) can boot successfully(of course with nvidia).

Post your grub.cfg

@Arctus, we're beyond this.
He fails to install the nvidia blob and has yet not produced relevant data to say "how" (I can think of three principle reasons what went wrong, and assume his journal will shout the answer)

@wptskybzy, please adjust the threads subject (edit your first post to alter it) to avoid misleading more members. Thanks.

You're probably right. I just seem to remember having a similar issue which was due to not having the nomodeset kernel parameter.

step 1: install system, this can boot into system
step 2: install nvidia, and reboot
step 3: i can not boot into system anymore
i have tried every possible way to solve this problem, but nothing useful

I found someone has the same problem who use GTX 1050. Both 1050 and Quadro P620 has the same code: GP107. Maybe that's the key

Try passing "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" and also get us a journal from the "failed" boot.
